Frequently asked questions
- Is sh-polypeptide-19 safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment identified for SH‑Polypeptide‑19. No peer‑reviewed reproductive or developmental toxicity studies found in PubMed, and no ECHA registration indicating reproductive hazard. By CIR/SCCS default (no evidence) this is scored as no reproductive hazard.
- Is sh-polypeptide-19 safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating lactation/breastfeeding toxicity or systemic reproductive toxicity; no harmonised classification or listings in SCCS/CIR. Large polar peptides used topically generally have very low dermal penetration and no specific breast‑milk transfer data were identified.
- Is sh-polypeptide-19 safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or infant‑specific toxicity. As a polypeptide (large, polar), adult dermal absorption is expected to be negligible (adult e=0). Given immature infant barrier and guidance to increase exposure score by +1 where absorption is not zero/unknown, baby exposure is set to 1. No infant‑specific studies changing hazard/mechanism scores were found.
